A couple of beers for the footy. Finally got a TT to compare. Mine still hasn’t cleared it might be a bit of chill haze as well as the fridge is too cold for a bitter. Colour wise it’s not too far off needs something to add a bit more colour, it has better head retention and lacing, could be the glass though. Not quite as bitter and perhaps a bit more floral, perhaps the EKG as a hop stand. Not a bad first effort.

A modern saison
I’ve only had a couple, but they’ve all been fairly solid.
That’s a nice glass Dave, where’d you get that?

After a miserable day weather-wise it’s suddenly cleared up and turned nice. I’m starting tonight with a McEwans Champion because I’ve seen it on the Forum a couple of times recently and can’t remember ever drinking it. I’m actually quite struck by how much it tastes like a beer I brewed some time ago.

Family birthday celebration in our favourite local The Old Farmhouse Ulverston, my favourite Celebration ale flowing happy days
Back home £90 lighter (we split the bill) its not a wonder pubs are closing so regularly love the place and the food and beers but who can afford to do this regularly, not me.
I’ll have to see if I still have it (and if I can find it!).
Pizza oven ready, time to crack open a holiday fun sized Heverlee.

Back home after our holiday my Olicana pale has had another two weeks to condition and is just the job after an epic lawn mowing session.
Next up is a version of Five Points Best Bitter from @dave_77 I don’t have a bottle of the original to compare it with but who cares if it’s nice - and it is. It’s a lovely bitter - beautiful malt flavour (dark bread crust), slightly spicy from the hops, just the right bitterness (a little less bitter than 5-points), and just look at that head. Thanks Dave.

For me it’s incredibly nostalgic I can remember the big brown bottles when I was on holiday in Greece with my parents as a kid (and getting to take them back for the deposit to spend on more appropriate for children beverages).
And speaking of Greece I am having a glass of Metaxa.
